Premium add-on for returning job seekers

Bring job seekers back with saved searches and job alerts.

Job Alert lets registered job seekers save search preferences and receive matching jobs by email. Users can set keywords, categories, city, zip code, email address, and alert frequency so relevant openings reach them after they leave the site.

Users choose the search criteria and alert frequency that fit their job search.

✓ Return visits

Alerts keep users connected.

Relevant new jobs reach candidates by email, reducing the need for manual visits.

Why it matters

Most job seekers do not find the perfect job on the first visit.

A job board needs a reason for candidates to return. Job Alert turns a one-time search into an ongoing discovery loop by sending matching jobs when new openings appear.

01

Search sessions are shortMany candidates browse once, leave, and forget to check back.
02

New jobs need visibilityFresh jobs should reach relevant candidates without relying only on manual browsing.
03

Relevance needs controlUsers need to choose keywords, category, location, and frequency so alerts stay useful.
01

Saved search criteria

Users can save alert details such as name, categories, city, zip code, keywords, and contact email.

02

Scheduled delivery

Alerts can be sent based on configured alert frequency, such as daily, weekly, or monthly.

03

Unsubscribe flow

Users can unsubscribe from alerts when they no longer want matching jobs.

04

Admin visibility

Admins can view, search, approve, reject, or manage job alerts from the admin area.

How it works

From saved search to email alert.

Job Alert stores a candidate’s search preferences, checks matching jobs, and sends alerts based on the selected frequency.

1

User creates an alert

A registered user adds name, contact email, category, city, zip code, keywords, and alert type.

2

Alert settings are stored

The add-on saves the alert criteria so the search can run again without user input.

3

Matching jobs are checked

The system looks for jobs that match the saved criteria and alert schedule.

4

Email keeps the user engaged

Matching jobs are delivered by email so candidates can return when relevant openings appear.
